Mission: Space - Insights from a Famvia Expert!
If there's one ride at Walt Disney World that might intrigue you, it's Mission Space. We had a review here on Famvia recently if you want to read extra details about it! This space-themed attraction is one of a kind, putting you in the shoes of an astronaut. With four people per capsule working together, you'll embark on a mission to Mars and safely return home. Or maybe you will just stay there, like Matt Damon in that movie.
It actually features two distinct versions: one less intense ride called the Green Mission and the other one called Orange Mission, which is more intense. Mission Space is perfect for different age groups. Even in the lighter version, there are moments where you experience weightless sensations, making it an exciting choice for kids who seek a thrill.
Get ready for some INTENSE G-Forces
The Orange Mission is actually quite intense: you are inside a capsule that will be spinning around non stop. You don't actually feel anything spinning since you are in an enclosed space, but the G-forces are actually quite strong, much more so than what you'd find in any roller coaster at Disney World.
What sets Mission Space apart is its unique ride vehicle and theming, immersing riders in a realistic space environment. You'll experience everything a space ride would offer. Despite its popularity, wait times are usually manageable, with minimal waits for the pre-show, typically no more than a 10-minute wait in the queue, making this ride a great choice.
On a scale of 1 to 10, our expert rates Mission Space a solid 7.205. While the ride is well-themed, sometimes it feels a bit dated, missing out on opportunities to incorporate recent space advancements and more excitement about space exploration. However, perhaps the ride would improve with an update.
Anyone who is prone to motion sickness should try it with caution, especially when it comes to the Orange Mission. Additionally, this ride can be rather claustrophobic, so if you dislike enclosed spaces, it might be best to skip it.
However, for those seeking a cool escape from the heat and a thrilling adventure, Mission Space is a must-try ride at Walt Disney World. Stay tuned with us for updates on the most famous rides and experiences at Disney.
